The time has come to say goodbye to Master Sergeant, Paul Heh. Sergeant Heh has been with APD for approximately twenty-five years, of that time; Sergeant Heh has been a sergeant for approximately nineteen years. Sgt. Heh has posted several times here on the Eye and has always put his name on what he’s posted. Sergeant Heh is retiring at the end of this month.
The officers who spoke to the Eye, with the understanding we would keep their identity anonymous, (due to head hunting of their current Chief of Police, Raymond Daniel Schultz). The Eye understands the officers’ plight, Schultz is known for his pattern of harassment, intimidation and retaliation if an officer ever opposed him. The officers we spoke with gave a very strong praise for Sergeant Heh. Everyone told us he was an honest, stand up type of man. This is a rare quality to find in APD’s management staff.
This type of employee is rare and has become a dying breed. We salute you Sergeant Heh for having dignity, respect and honestly. The officers told us that you have always stood up for what is right, even when it placed you in peril. Your statements at the Albuquerque City Council were profound and respected.
This is just a thought, if you ever want a job; the Eye On Albuquerque would be proud to have you on our staff. Thank you for your service to our community and the citizens’ of Albuquerque!!!

Paul Heh ROCKS! Sad to see him leave!
Thank you for your service to this community Paul!!!!! You are a true Hero and a man of great integrity!
Congratulations to you Paul! We didn't always see eye to eye (no pun intended) but I believe you loved the officers at APD, and did what you thought was right by the community. Next time I run into you I would like to tell you in person that I think it takes a lot to stand up time and time again and speak your mind when the brass will beat you down for it! Enjoy retirement.
I have known Paul Heh for many years and he has always maintained his integrity and honesty. This is a genuine, good hearted Officer who does his job and cares about his fellow Officers and citizens. He sticks up for what is right and will not get involved in any corruption. This man should be honored for his work ethic and professionalism. It's sad to see someone like him leave the department, because he is one of the few honest people. Paul, you are greatly respected and will truly be missed. Best wishes!
U stood up at the council meeting in front of schultz and his cronies. u told it like u felt and we all knew it was from the heart! good luck in retirement and thanks for the years of being a honest cop.
Sgt. Don't leave now that the shit is hitting the fan with all these corrupt people going down. We need you! You are the only one who will speak up for justice. Stay and be our Chief...or how about Mayor?!!! Please don't go.
Yes Sgt hey, go work for the eye. sorry to see you leave. i am sure the chief is doing cartwheels with the thought of you gone. You are a good man. thanks for standing up for us.
Two people have left a law enforcement career. One who we will truly the missed, the other can go straight to hell.
Thank you for being an honorable straight up guy Paul.
There will be 30 less drunk drivers getting convicted each month now.
MADD will miss your contribution to our cause.
I watched the cc meeting, and it was hard to listen to what Paul said. I'm glad that he at least for one can leave with his head held high for the work he has done, and the people he's helped, unlike the upper management that will end up slinking out of town if they aren't ridden out of town on a rail. They should be ashamed that they have caused someone like Paul to have to speak about the dept the way he did...you could see how it hurt him to say the things he felt he had to. At least the rank and file had someone to support them, I don't know what they'll do with out him now. Paul is old school, and they should make him the new chief. I just wish, like Paul that the dept hadn't come to the state it's in before changes are made.

Sgt. Heh, you are and have been a role model for up & coming rookie officers. You were always very hard working. and you even took jabbing for that), a dedicated officer, but it goes beyond that. You are what all police officers should strive to be: honest, hard-working, respectful of the citizen and other officers as well. God Bless you!
From previous blog.
Castro Chief? Please, That would be the worst thing that could ever happen.
He bought his rank as Lt. from Marty for $2,000. He bought his rank as Captain for $4,000 from en mayor Marty as well. DC, same thing.
Mayor Berry will want a cool $10,000 for the Chief's position. Not a problem for Castro's in-laws who are loaded.
It's also important to note that the Castro family also donated $8,000 to Darren's ill fated Congressional race. $4000 from Mike and $4000 from the in-laws.
When do we stop with this political payback way of running City hall?
To quote Rod Blagojevich, "This is F_ _king golden".
ATTENTION !!
DEMOCRATIC PARTY, CITY COUNCIL AND CITIZENS OF ALBUQUERQUE:
This one takes the cake. The 'EYES' have it that Darren was filling out paperwork in order for him to get a $50,000 contract as an "ADVISOR" to APD. I'm sorry, WHAT? WTF ?
We have an IG investigation going on with Darren and his wife's accident, the DOJ is coming in to investigate the police department which was in control of Darren for the past two years, he resigns in disgrace(make no mistake about that) and now, we hear that the "Muffin brothers", BlueBERRY and StrawPERRY, are trying to help him survive his financial crises by rewarding him some half ass contract, under the $55,000 cap, so it doesn't have to go to the City Council approval.
This SUX!! Stop with the coddling of this despot. If we so DESPERATELY need an 'ADVISOR" to APD, (which we don't) then put it out for bid.
Good God, are we insane?????
Word to the wise (or dumb) DON'T DO IT BERRY, DON'T DO IT PERRY.
Paul is a great cop! Congrats on your retirement and good luck in the future.
Speaking of cops leaving. Rumor is APD lateral hire, Russell Perea is being terminated today. Another great lateral hire by Ray Schultz.
I wonder if Valencia County or the Department of Justice will look at how two past APOA presidents are being implicated with Levi Chavez (one at the crime scene and one in Auto Theft). Also how about the LT at the crime scene? He lived in Los Lunas for years. Does he or his family have a connection with the Levi Chavez crime family? Too coincidental that all of these people have ties with Levi. I think the corruption at APD runs deep and goes into the command staff.
I hope someone outside of APD is asking these questions. Tera deserves it.
Sgt Heh, it was an honor to get shot at with you. (Gaslight Motel dble murder) Sorry to see you leaving.
Cheers, Mi3ke
Yes, the word is Darren is becoming a Biness man. No cab driving for him. He has filed for a business license and plans to open up a so called consulting firm. Where, at his freaking 'snake ranch' with Peaches?
Gee, I wonder who his first client will be? I can assure you it won't be some nickle- dime security consulting for some towel head at 7-11.
My guess is the City of Albuquerque.
After all, we don't have one of those now and God knows we need one just like the very needed Public Safety Dir position. Stop scamming the taxpayer and go out and get a real job you freaking beggar leech.
Hey, Hey; best of luck to you buddy. They can't screw with you anymore.
Bet they wish they could say the same. Now you can screw with them.
Ok, as for this latest Darren 'Mish- Mash, this ploy , scam or what ever you want to call it is nothing more than reinstating Darren at $50,000 vs. $125,000. Berry needs him to tell him what do do. That's all there is to it. BlueBERRY has no idean what to do so we'll just sneak out this contract under the radar and Darren can still sit around in lard ass TJ's office and do nothing AGAIN, although now for a lot less money. Schultz will still have to put up with his bullshit and Berry will take comfort knowing Darren, his "blankey". is just a few steps away.
NICE WAY TO GAIN THE PUBLIC'S TRUST MR.BERRY. YOU HAVE SOME BALLS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY SHIT STORM AND FINANCIAL WOES TO BOOT.
Hmmm..
Well if the city pays Darren 50K, that's 100 K lees than what he was getting as PPA (Public Pain in the ASS) Gee aren't we lucky; we get a whole Darren for 1/3 the price.
So, What, we should be grateful?
See looks like the other scam didn't work out where they were gonna award him big bucks for some bogus lawsuit in settlement to buy his retirement.
Go out and get a job , you bum.
Preferably in another state.
For Pete's sake, will you two just leave already. Stop lingering around here trying to suck the taxpayers tit anymore. You and Peaches, please move to Georgia, the Peach State.
The Mayor's kin can have you and Peachy keen, work they're cotton fields.
Or you can be a real honest to goodness Southern Cracker sheriff, just like that honky, "Butter Bean"
You can relive "In the Heat of the Night". Gotcha covered babe.
Thanks for your honest testimony at my brother's trial. I wish you all the best in your retirement. You obviously were a wonderful example to the younger police men and women based on what they say about.you. God Bless!!!!
Tonight I will gat down on my knees and thank God I am not Darren White. Anyone that hated should rent a car and head East. What a loser.
Chief Schultz
To: DOJ
Please let me have one more chance.
It was all Marty's Fault.
Please, I will do better.
It was all Darren's Fault.
Let me have one more Dance.
Who does this sound like?
Barack Ray Schultz Obama.
See, it's all George Bush's' fault.
Post 4:58 PM
Now that's funny !
One problem for him. You have to have credit & a credit card to rent a car.
He has neither.
Darren will get what's coming to him.
$16,000 for un used leave, minus the time he took off with his wife after her crack and the Honeymoon back to Suffer, NY.( Just in time for corn cobber fest)
Where's the P-30s for that time off?
Oh damn, we must have overlooked that little detail.
Perry, please throw those in Ilana Gold's face if you have 'em.
(Psssst... Ray get those filled out before Channel 7 gets here on Monday)
We all should thank God we're not Darren White or Peaches White.
Enjoy yourselves did you? Well the ride is over and the amusement park is closed.
Take your $16k and beat it.
To Chief Schultz @4:00 - You started out ok then you digressed. You sound stupid comparing the situation with Schultz to President Obama. Stay on track and grow up. Maybe it will be cops like you the DOJ will be looking at.
In my opinion it doesnt matter who the Mayor picks as a new chief cause he will be wrong. Whether its an old school guy or girl someone currently on the dept will remember them and hate them for their past. Damned if he does and damned if he doesnt! Should he pick an outsider like Galvin? That pissed everyone off too! I hear everyone bith and moan yet no one has a plan. WHO SHOULD THE NEXT CHIEF BE??? doesnt matter this dept is so divided there is no right answer.
My choice dust the cobwebs off of Stover and put him back in there!
Dumb question but what is a P-30?
Betrayal is the ultimate wrong.
Remember that when the elections roll around.
You will all be removed from office. Count on it.
Stover would be a good choice but I doubt he would go along with it.
Sgt. Heh you are to be commended for your service. You remind me of a former captain that was always out working with his officers years ago. People like you are few and far between. Hate to see you go buddy it has been fun. God Bless.
A P-30 is a form, City employee's fill out to take leave. i.e, vacation, FMLA, comp time, taking the wife to detox for six hours. etc. etc.
Comment 8:06
YOU OBVIOUSLY MISSED THE POINT.
IT'S CALLED THE BLAME(SOMEONE ELSE ) GAME.
Hey, what's this business with Peaches having an EBT card? Any truth to that?
Anyone?
Aug 6 11:50: You missed a little in the definition. A P-30 is a form for leave that is never used by upper management. That's how they accumulate a hugh lump sum payday on retirement.
Paul -
Was reading about APD on the web, saw your retireing. Did not have an email for you, but fig'red you would read these posts....so....
Just wanted to say "was an honor to work with you!"
Concrats on your upcoming retirement! ...and "Enjoy" as I know you will!
JDSPAIN
I get the blame someone else, but I hardly think bring the POTUS into APD corruption is fair. However, the POTUS did inherit the Titanic.
10:49,
You are very correct. The upper management (lts and above) never use P30 forms. The inspector general should do a complete audit of them and they will see great abuse that the citizens pay for in 6 figure payouts at retirement. Ask yourselfs how much leave did Castro, Chavez, Johnston, etc etc etc cashout? Hundreds of thousands of dollars. All because they were never charged vacation or sick time when they were gone.
COMMANDER SPAIN---HOW R U
Known fact; DOJ is reading this and they WILL be looking at all the P-30s or the lack thereof.
DOJ just doesn't come and go. They will be here for a while and they will scrutinize Captains and above the most. DC's you are out as far as becoming chief; possibly out all together. Card board boxes is the word for the day.
Thank Darren for being such a cool dude and not drawing attention to the PD
DOJ is here to stay. Just ask Dallas, N.O. & L.A police officers.
It happened on your watch Berry. You and Ray can't go blaming Marty.
This will NOT bode well for Blueberry's re-election.
VIVA Ken Sanchez !!! 2013
Who should be the next chief,the comments answer that question. Paul Heh.
Next Chief will be selected by DOJ.
They will own this PD and it won't be anyone on the force now.
Sorry. Ray & Darren made this mess.
Can't blame BlueBerry much cause he hasn't had a clue since day one what Ray & Darren have been up to.
Then ignorance is no excuse either.
One time wonder for sure. The Republicans ran the wrong guy as he one by default anyway as dems split vote.
A dem will surely be the next mayor. maybe he can fool us again and run for Congress. NOT !
It's not just APD that the upper management doesn't fill out out timesheets or P30's. Every department director, assistant director, deputy director, E-level staff, and some M's are EXEMPT from timesheets and P30s....talk about corruption and dishonesty. They take off when they want and there's no accountability...NO PAPER TRAIL......This city is filled with crap like that from "upper management". Thanks to R.J. DingleBerry and PerryWinkle.
Paul Heh the next chief? ABSOLUTELY! That's a no brainer. Problem is, I think Paul is smarter than to take it. Paul could effect more change in APD from the sidelines than he ever could as chief, and he knows that.
But I agree, there's no one else that would bring the kind of dedication and integrity to the 5th floor than Paul would bring.
I heard a rumor that he might run for mayor. He's got my vote.
Enjoy retirement, Paul. We haven't spoken in a couple of years, but I'm honored to be able to call you my friend.
Castro for chief is a joke? He is too self serving and has a history of throwing people that worked for him under the bus.
Paul, God bless you.
Any other police officer who share the ethics and morals as Paul, I provide this link which explains how to properly and effectively pass it on to rookies.
Max
i believe castro gave a deposition in the levi chavez suit and said he never had affair? i know that not a flat out lie.
Hey Eye--Due to the economy I have recently become one of NM's unemployed. If you are offering jobs-I would love to apply to be an editor. The grammar, spelling, and punctuation on your site is atrocious!
RE: Hey Eye--Due to the economy I have recently become one of NM's unemployed...
Perhaps there is a reason that you are now unemployed? Just sharing a thought friend...
Paul is a wonderful guy and a great friend to my father. If not for Paul, Dad would not still be with us today. Everybody needs a friend like Paul and we are all very blessed to know him. Paul, we haven't met yet, but I know we will some day. Thanks again for your kindness and for being Dad's friend. All my gratitude, Wendy.
